I bought a few from them as well. The stuff they carry varies greatly, so it really depends what you bought. I bought a ~$12 leather nato from them and it was the BEST leather nato I have ever tried (that being said, I haven't tried expensive leather natos).
I also bought a ~$20 leather nato from them, and it was horrible quality. Stitching fell off too.
At the end, they are just a vendor that carries a bunch of different makes/models from different suppliers. Those suppliers are hit and miss.
Their customer service is great too btw, (had a shipment that never arrived after a month, I emailed in and they resent a new package no questions asked).

Anywhere I can bring it to get it diagnosed and fixed?

I'm a little confused and worried about the "guy that replaced your battery". Considering there is NO battery in that watch. If you don't know what the issue is, bring it to any watchmaker I guess. Some offer free consultation I think? (So they will do a very basic diagnosis for free). You can also try some of the watch stores / repair stores in the malls I guess... (Stores that carry mechanical seikos, not just quartz pieces).
But run away from any watchmaker who claims your SKX needs a new battery.
EDIT: forgot to mention, SKX are now discontinued. Haven't looked up recent prices for them after the discontinued announcement, but worst case scenario, buy a new one (was priced around ~$200-300), if the service cost exceeds that.
